I don&#39;t think we could manage it, but you&#39;ve made me want to attempt heading in the same direction, and perhaps lobbying the council for a different system of rates for bin collection.<br /><br />Re bottles: my sidekick makes his own beer, so we reuse and reuse and reuse beer bottles and when we come across one lying in the park we often bring it home, wash it out, and put it to good use: we&#39;re happy to increase our supply because sometimes we give beer away and don&#39;t get the bottles back from the recipients. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lexiconharlot/5859556946/in/set-72157627019950110" rel="nofollow">This</a> is what we&#39;re doing with wine bottles. They make handsome garden edging, if that&#39;s your thing. I&#39;d want to investigate the potential bushfire risk of having glass in the garden before trying them in a foresty area, though. (We&#39;re in concrete clad suburbia, so I don&#39;t worry about fire.)<br /><br />Good luck with your bin thrift!Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971443171317468019.post-22033569058258894422011-12-29T19:57:51.318-08:002011-12-29T19:57:51.318-08:00Awesome... great idea guys. &quot;Produce no waste...Awesome... great idea guys. &quot;Produce no waste&quot; really can be one of the biggest challenges (and hence biggest challenge to) the conventional western lifestyle.

We will often cook up any bones that we have for use as stock for soup, so including these in our wormfarm is no problem (not much left over meat for pests).<br />Some other ways that you could dispose of meat waste are:<br />- Feed it to your, or a neighbours, pet dog or cat<br />- Bury them in your compost bin (provided there is not too much)<br />- Bury them in the garden, in a differnet spot each time<br />- Try making soap out of animal fat trimmings if you are really keenpermiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265524593691122778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971443171317468019.post-13380381348908602122011-01-03T19:38:17.466-08:002011-01-03T19:38:17.466-08:00Hey Guys,

I understand that some people are vegetarians, and so this wont apply to them, but I&#39;m not, and yet still want to minimmise wastage going to the council bin.<br />WayneWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08819593948646226808noreply@blogger.com
